To me it would be like taking the photograph out of the frame the  
store insisted upon selling it in, and framing it a style of your  
choice.

But then, as someone once said, bad analogies are like comparing  
apples to oranges.


Very OT:

I think (!!) that removing the copyright notice from a photograph  
would be quite legitimate, as long as you weren't trying to copy or  
resell it (or display it publicly). I'm assuming that you'd only be  
removing the *notice* from a print that you'd bought yourself, by  
cropping or airbrushing, and simply did not wish to view the  
unsightly (c) logo. I believe in this instance you would simply be  
doing what you wished with your copy of the physical media - it  
certainly wouldn't affect who owned the copyright, and it would be no  
loss to them.
